Im looking for decent animations for some typical mechanics problems. Greatest height reached, rods on point of tilting etc.I rely too much on sketching each scenario/hand gestures! Curriculum time is too tight for practical demos and videos rarely show the nuances of the problem in the way I’d like

💡📄 Resource Highlight - Negative Indices - Making Comparisons ✨🔢
This task encourages students to think deeply about these powers by asking 'what is the same, what is different?' 🤔 Check out the resource here: buff.ly/AN1iF7y

I've finally put together a blog about all the changes I've been making to the sequence in which we teach A Level Maths. Let me know if you have any thoughts or questions! sxpmaths.wordpress.com/2026/03/26/a... @tickyvanner.bsky.social @runningstitch314.bsky.social
It's that time of year again - anyone with students who can do volumes of revolution might like to calculate the volume of a creme egg from my implicit equation:

Two examples of completing the square, one with numerical values and the other an algebraic expression.
I've added a few more features to the Examples tool.
My favourite bit is the ability to select objectives and compare them side by side.
My year 13s are struggling with reverse chain rule, so wrote these as a bridging task before we look at adjusting to get a reverse chain rule result. #MathsToday #ALevelMaths
#Mathstoday
Year 11s looked at Venn diagram notation.(Which I still find tricky myself past the basic ones)
Used the lovely Dr Austin task to shade in the areas.
A worksheet containing 12 questions for students to practise enlarging shapes where the scale factor is negative.
A worksheet containing 12 questions for students to practise reflecting shapes in mirror lines which have a gradient of 1 or -1.
Two new transformation worksheets:
✨ Harder reflections practice grid
✨ Negative enlargements practice grid
Corrected after my Year 9s found a couple of errors!

The fabulous @studymaths.bsky.social talking to us all about inner and outer tasks… what are you asking the students to do on the surface? But what is the mathematical idea that it really uncovers?

Finding that we are needing to scaffold things in #AlevelMaths more this year and we are enjoying putting together resources to help to students organise their thinking!
I saw someone the other day post something similar to this
At the end of each question I have put hints as to what the marks on the mark scheme are for.
I have done this for one of the Edexcel Foundation Mock Sets and think my group will find it useful as a scaffold. www.mrchapmanmaths.com/revision

A blank parametric equations worksheet displayed as a table. Columns are titled: x = p(t), y = q(t), Cartesian Equation f(x,y), Intersection with axes, Constraint on t, Domain, Range, and Sketch. Five rows contain given parametric pairs such as x = 3 – t, y = –4 + 3t; x = 3t², y = 6t; x = 4 cos t, y = 2 sin t; x = 1 + 2 cos t, y = 3 + 2 sin t; and x = e²ᵗ, y = e³ᵗ, with remaining columns left blank for students to complete
second blank parametric equations worksheet in table format. Columns match the first sheet: x = p(t), y = q(t), Cartesian Equation f(x,y), Intersection with axes, Constraint on t, Domain, Range, and Sketch. Five rows include parametric definitions such as x = t² – 1, y = t(t² – 1); x = 3 cos 2t, y = 2 cos t; x = 1 + 2t², y = –3 + 4t; x = ln(t – 2), y = 1/(t + 1) with t > 3; and x = cot t, y = 3 sin t for 0 ≤ t ≤ π, with other columns empty for completion.
A new A level task.
Really enjoyed watching the students think about this one:

There are six small pink squares, and a larger tilted purple square which shares ones vertex with the bottom pink square. One vertex of the top pink square lies on the top edge of the purple square. A line from the bottom right vertex of the rightmost pink square makes an unknown angle with the left side of the purple square.
Seven squares. What’s the angle?

In #MathsToday, my FM #ALevelMaths classes got totally absorbed doing the volumes of revolution ‘CrackTheCode’ activity from @draustinmaths.com - thanks for sharing such great resources!
#MathsToday does anyone know of a basic numeracy package that monitors progress, diagnoses gaps etc that could be used with KS3/4? If it could be run by a non specialist even better.
Mathematical Miscellany #101
A compilation of mathematical goodies! It is so important that students check answers for reasonableness, yet they frequently don't. Examiners frequently report that students lose "easy" marks by providing answers that are physically or mathematically impossible.…
Exponentials and logarithms revision practice grid. Contains eight exam-style questions to aid students with A-level Maths revision.
Line and circle geometry revision practice grid. Contains eight exam-style questions to aid students with A-level Maths revision.
Algebraic methods revision practice grid. Contains nine exam-style questions to aid students with A-level Maths revision.
Quadratics revision practice grid. Contains eight exam-style questions to aid students with A-level Maths revision.
I've added a new section to the site today - A-level Revision. Over the next few months I hope to add to the revision resources, starting with four A-level grids - algebraic methods, quadratics, exponentials and logs, and circle geometry.
